Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life and Writings of the Right Reverend John McMullen, D. D: First Bishop of Davenport, Iowa Many years have elapsed since the subject of the following Memoirs, in conversation with the writer, said that: "A contemporary history of the Catholic Church in this Country ought to be collected and published, even in the shape of biographical sketches of eminent members of the Hierarchy." The writer replied, that in one particular instance, the suggestion would be carried out, and a contribution made to the history of the Church in the Diocese of Chicago. No attention was paid to the remark by either at the time, as the early demise of the first speaker did not have the least shadow of probability. When all that was mortal of Bishop McMullen was consigned to the tomb, his words came forcibly to mind and the writer realized that the promise became a duty. In undertaking it he has found his own deficiencies in the way, and many difficulties to overcome; the latter showing the soundness of Bishop McMullen´s suggestion. There has certainly been an apparent indifference in collecting and publishing whatever is of historical interest to the Church in the Archdiocese of Chicago, and the reason may be in the comparatively rapid changes of diocesan administrations, which have taken place since the first Diocese was created in 1844. The writer found a great difficulty in searching for material which he knew had existed, but it was found that much perished in the Fire of 1871.If he has failed to obtain more that would be of historical value to the history of this portion of the Church in the West, he hopes that his labor will stimulate others to further the good work. The lives of the deceased Bishops of the Dioceses in the State of Illinois would be a means to the end. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
